yeah, i've heard hawaii is a nice place to visit for a week and by the end you're ready to go home. not so sure i could deal with the secludedness of it.
sorry to hear about your situation... although... isn't that 2a competitor, who is also from Dallas relocated to hawaii? i can't remember their names, but i'm sure they're doing pretty well now.

lived in the big island for 2 years and loved every single day.
if you feel like you're being screwed just leave, or fist fight your boss or just surf the web a lot and collect pay checks.

bummer dude!
but shit look at the good side.....you're in hawaii, not Texas.
even if you get canned start your own company up?
buy a tent, surfboard and live on the beach...your in PARADISE!
think of getting canned as a blessing to go and travel around one of the most beatiful places on earth.....your young and free enjoy it!

I was hired to head up the creative for a dating site. nothing else...just a dating site. but since i've been here...i've just been made to work on horrible sites that i would never show you guys...that were point system...fill out offers...to win shit you don't even want. see...i was working for match.com in dallas...and was brought here for my expertise in the field...but once i got here...he kinda just changed his mind...and thought...well...i don't think i want to do that anymore...i don't think it'll make any money. but he just kept throwing us a bone...letting us think that we were going to do it...but now...we've been given final notice that he's going to cut us loose. and the other thing is...companies in hawaiii are shady...like mom and pop type shops...so the contract i have...is just a generic contract...i have my offer letter...and a stack of emails...stating that i'm being brought here to make a dating site. shotgun anyone?

bummer! what's the company?
I just got back from Maui on my honeymoon, and I found out that I could never live in that state, very strange and isolated.
:P

what? I'm confused. can you give us more detail about the project and more detail of what they promised and what you have in contract form?

okay...i was hired to come out here and design a dating site for this company in hawaii...i hired two other guys to move out here too. and now if we don't come up with a $30k idea that we could create promote and make that in a month...then we're canned. it's messed. any ideas? oh...and has anyone ever taken being hired under false pretences to court...since i sold my life in texas...to get here...i'd like to get back what i lost.
